Testers who tended toward a faster pace or at least those who ran toward the fore of their feet appreciated the performance fit and feel of the Makani, which felt true to size and accommodated moderate-volume feet. The feel was pleasant, merging flexibility with comfortably firm impact absorption. And the Makani performed especially well for testers who liked to push it with rapid turnover.
